I did think that such a ring (if it exists at all) was a sort of "going steady" kinda thing, very teenage. Now, giving a non-engagement ring as a gift is a very nice gift. I didn't think there was anything that specifically was called a promise ring or commitment ring.
It's pretty simple, in my opinion. He wants a serious relationship with you, but not marriage. At least not yet, but that may change. I just don't see why or know anyone who would go through trouble of buying two rings voluntarily.
The ring is nice and he said to me what its for. I have no doubt he loves me but just wondering why a promise ring and not an engagement ring. And ofcourse I cant ask him that question.
You barely know each other after 5 years let alone 5 months. Why not just be happy with what you got? Why are you finding something to question?

It is still too soon to get engaged and he wants the promise with you of a solid committed monogamous relationship to build your future together. You two get to see how you relate with one another exclusively over time and down the road this could and may likely lead to engagement. This is very nice and of course this viewpoint is in the minority around here as it borders too much on old fashioned traditional values.
I don't think most posters have anything against "old-fashioned traditional values," but more that it seems like something for much younger people. I have never heard of anyone older than teenage giving or getting a promise ring. Adults can communicate and certainly agree on an exclusive relationship with a firm eye to the future without involving jewelry. (Then again, I don't believe in engagement rings, either. It all seems a scam by the diamond companies to move product).

Did he actually say this is a promise ring? Maybe it was just a gift and nothing meant by it. Promise rings are for teenagers.
